The Overview

The Singaporean textile designer, who already had a penchant for eco-friendly design, launched her YOLO (You Only Live Once) collection, a bamboo fiber range, at the 2008 Singapore Fashion Festival.

Tan admits she was initially surprised by the soft, fine texture of bamboo fiber. To give it an edgier twist, Tan rips and burns the material; she even pours melted plastic on it. The result, though, is an eminently wearable range of simple, feminine tops and V-neck blouses.
